COOL SOAP SLIME FOR SCIENCE AND SENSORY PLAY

Supplies for soap slime is a couple bars of ivory soap, water, a microwave and container.

So now you have this awesome mass of Ivory soap that looks like a fluffy cloud {we made 2 bars}. What can you do with it? Make soap slime of course! I gave the boys {my son and his friends} colored water and eye droppers. They happily squirted colored water all over it. I decide to bring over a dishpan filled a 1/4-1/3 of the way with luke warm water. I provide whisks and potato mashers. We transferred the soggy soap clouds into the dishpan. They whisked, mashed and stirred. The last time we made exploding ivory soap, we wanted to turn it into soap foam like we did before. I did not have nearly enough water in the bucket, so we ended up with a soapy slime instead. This feels fantastic, soft, and messy. The boys had there fill and were off to super hero adventures. I kept meaning to get rid of it, but I couldn’t help playing with it. I left it out overnight and it turned into an even more incredible slime in the morning. I added a few drops of food coloring to see what would happen.

Note the blue food coloring did not stain our hands but be prepared for a potentially messy situations. This is much more of a liquid that ourtraditional slime recipe we always make. However, it had the stretch and flow similar to our slimes.

Awesome soap foam for those that like to get messy. My son preferred to use the kitchen tools I gave him to mix and pick up the soap slime while couldn’t wait to get my hands in it! You could scoop up the soap slime and then watch it pour out!
